Dr. Alberto León Villalba

Especialista en Medicina Interna, Medicina Funcional y Acupuntura

I am Dr. Alberto León Villalba, an Internal Medicine specialist trained at Parc Taulí Hospital in Barcelona.

As Medical Director of Alquimia, I have designed a healthcare approach that combines advanced science, including endocannabinoid system modulation, with evidence-based natural therapies.

Functional and Orthomolecular Medicine Approach

We evaluate the stress axis (cortisol regulation) and detect micronutrient deficiencies that can interfere with the brain’s ability to switch off at night.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine

I apply advanced techniques, developed through training at the Beijing Traditional Medicine Training Center, to regulate the autonomic nervous system and support deep, restorative sleep—without dependence on conventional medications.

Endocannabinoid System Modulation

We integrate the therapeutic use of medical cannabis to improve sleep architecture in carefully selected patients.

Bioregulatory Medicine

As a lecturer in this field at USFQ (Universidad San Francisco de Quito), I apply protocols that help the body restore its natural circadian rhythms.

Geriatrics

Comprehensive adult care focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and non-surgical treatment of both outpatient and inpatient conditions.

Patient Testimonials

Discover the experiences of patients who have trusted a comprehensive medical approach to improve their health and quality of life.

I experienced firsthand that functional medicine, acupuncture, and proper nutrition were not ‘alternatives’—they were life-changing. They were true medicine, not just wellness. And most importantly, they led to remission.

Dr. Alberto is a physician who is fully dedicated to his patients. His medical evaluations are thorough and detailed, reflecting the care and attention he brings to every case. Thanks to him, I discovered aspects of my health that no other doctor had identified before. I am deeply grateful for the seriousness and dedication with which he approached my case—something I have rarely experienced in medicine.

As part of a comprehensive treatment approach, the use of medical cannabis—alongside my personal work in psychological therapy—has been key in supporting my emotional regulation. Its benefits have been reflected mainly in improved sleep patterns, the ability to stay focused, and in maintaining consistent nutrition and self-care habits in my daily routine. This progress has been possible not only through Dr. León’s guidance and close supervision, but also his ability to tailor the treatment and dosage to my specific needs. Today, I can confidently say that, thanks to Dr. León’s approach to my health, I have regained my well-being and achieved a meaningful change in my life.
